Here's a quick little thing that I just read that's right up my alley.
I'll read it. It's a short one.
It says,
Scientists want to entangle human brains with quantum computers to learn about consciousness.
I'm really into the whole concept of quantum computing.
A team of researchers believes that they may have a way
to test the hypothesis that consciousness in humans
arises from entanglement within our brains.
To do so would involve creating interfaces
between human brains and quantum computers
in an attempt to measure any regular changes in consciousness.
So I was talking earlier about a neuro plant from
Eli Musk, so it's kind of in that area.
Consciousness is something we all have, but know surprisingly little about.
We know how to turn it off with
anesthesia, but we aren't really sure how they work either.
There are plenty of people working on the problem, but we still do not know whether consciousness is the result of integration within a system,
known as an integrated information theory or the
results of information being shared across the brain global workspace theory
the two ideas two leading ideas with so little known there's room for others out out of their ideas. In 1989, British mathematician and Nobel Prize in Physics winner Roger Penrose
did just that, suggesting that quantum entanglement is involved in consciousness. Though we can't summarize his full argument spread
out over several books, the gist of it boils down to the idea that some
problems that cannot be completed or comprehend by traditional computers,
humans can deal with these problems and comprehend them, such as non-computable numbers and gothic sentences.
And so the human mind must not operate like a traditional computer.
Instead, Penrose suggests that the consciousness can arise from quantum entanglement within
the brain. The argument, which was not well met at the time,
has actually seen a bit of a revival in recent years.
Though it remains on the fringe of consciousness research,
one limit on the idea that the quantum entanglement is fragile
and easily broken even at low temperatures.
So how could we produce and maintain entanglement in a warm, mushy environment of our brains?
Interesting.
But since then, it's suggested that microtubulars inside neural neurons
could provide this stable environment for entanglement.
Earlier this year, one team claimed that they had found supporting evidence of this idea
after giving rats microtubular binding drugs and finding that it then took longer for anesthesia
to knock them out, suggesting that they play a role in consciousness.
While further study in that era may give us further clues to what consciousness is and
how it works, another team has a far wackier idea for testing whether consciousness is a quantum process. This team, which includes
Hartmut Neven, leader of the Google's Quantum AI Lab, makes the assumption that Penrose
is wrong in suggesting that consciousness arises at the point of superposition collapse. Instead, suggested it could arise when it formed
in order to sidestep the obscurity possibility
of faster-than-light communications in the brain.
The team suggests that the way to test this theory of consciousness
is to try to expand our consciousness
using an interface between our brains.
And a quantum computer.
So earlier I was talking about that.
And they were saying maybe 2020.
By 2020.
50.
We'll have some more implants.
I would assume that this would be.
Things that they would be doing.
In an experiment.
Experimental.
Crucious. One would establish a physical. Link between human brain. would be doing. In an experimental crucius, one would
establish a physical link
between the human brain and the quantum
computer that would enable
coherent interactions
and mediate entanglement.
If our conjunction
is accurate, this would
enable richer consciousness
experiences of the combined
system, requiring more descriptive
bites than the
experiences the human reflects
without the link. The team
explains in the paper adding it
adding that it requires
coupling
a system within the brain
with qubits in superposition
inside a quantum computer.
Before the systems are coupled, their respective states exist in separate state-spaces known
as Hilbert spaces of dimensions n and m respectively.
After they are made to interact, the waveform describing the combination system resides in X-dimensional
Hilbert space, the team writes.
We conjured that a superposition forming in this higher dimensional space state would
be experienced by the subject as a richer experiment in comparing to the
superposition state forming in a low n dimensional Hilbert space describing the isolation of
the brain subject.
Let's say we have n qubits in our brain and M qubits in the external quantum computer,
with the letters referring to a certain number of qubits.
If a person can entangle their brain with this quantum computer,
they can create an expandable quantum position involving N plus M qubits.
If we now tickle with the expanding
supposition to make it collapse,
this should be reported
by the persons
participating in the experience as a
richer experience.
That's because in their
normal conscious experience
they typically need
n bits to describe
the experience, but now they need n and m bits to describe the experience but now they need
N and M bits to describe it
pretty cool
I call this
expansion protocol
so it would allow us to
expand consciousness in space
time and complexity
so just make it smarter
um
according to Nevin,
reports of this richer experience,
so it's kind of like a rush basically,
or a higher rush, getting higher,
even higher,
in this circumstance would offer evidence
that the consciousness is a quantum phenomenon.
While a neat idea,
there the test would rely on being able to
couple activity in someone's brain with a quantum computer,
which would be an invasive procedure and is not going to happen anytime soon.
As well as this, there are many other ideas of consciousness with promise too,
many of which do not rely on. Invasive procedures.
As the team notes.
Research into inert gases.
Such as Xeon.
And their effect on the consciousness.
May be more fruitful in the meantime.
So that's a pretty fun one.
If I see something like that.
It really catches my eye.
I'm really into it.
So that's about.
So if I say by 20
2024
No 2040
2050
We'll have a lot of these things going on
So short little
Thing this morning
Or not this morning late in the day here
Alright I'll talk to you later
Bye
Alright so I'd like to share some articles when I
see them this one was kind of interesting
right up my alley of course
some of these that I do
are shorter than the 20
minutes but they're kind of fun I did another one
yesterday that was cool
so this article
scientists
believe that aliens
could be living
in parallel
universes
so that's something I could
totally believe
galaxies have long served as beacons for understanding
the university's vast structure
and evolution
astrophysics
and cosmologists
have strived to unravel how these massive systems of stars, gas, and dark matter emerge and evolve.
Despite significant advancements,
I don't know, we really haven't learned anything. The intricate mechanism governing star formations, gas dynamics, and feedback processes remain incompletely understood.
Central to this challenge is the influence of dark energy, a mysterious force driving the universe's accelerated expansion and its implications for life in the cosmos.
The dark energy. question proposing a novel framework to estimate the likelihood of intelligent life both in our
universe and a hypothetical multiverses i still believe that we're in a multiverse ourselves
drawing parallels to the famous drake equation this model investigates how the density of dark energy in star formation rates shape
the potential of life to arise.
Gives me a cool picture.
The cosmologist framework of star formation. The cold dark matter paradigm forms the foundation
of understanding large-scale cosmic structures. This model explains galaxy formations through
the gravitational collapse of dark matter halos from a nearly uniform early universe.
Today, I saw in the news that
the next generation is going to be called
Gen Beta.
That's the next gen now.
They're the product
of Gen Z's
and early millennials.
Gen Beta
says that they will be there
for the 22nd, 2200.
Because you figure if they're born now, 75, it's 25.
That gets you to another century.
Pretty interesting.
So it's always Gen Beta.
Pretty something.
Just something off track there for a minute.
While N-body simulations and
arithmetical models have refined
our understanding of the halo assembly,
the intricacies of the
bironomics, physics, gas acceleration,
star formations, and stellar feedback
still present challenges.
Early models approach star formation with a simple assumption,
focusing on cooling times and conversion rates of gas into stars.
However, they are often ignored complex feedback mechanisms from the stars and active galactic
nuclides
which is A
G N's galactic nuclides
relative
stories scientists propose
incredible new theories of the origin
of life in the universe
scientists finally
identify the source of the interstellar signal
linked to alien
scientists discovered
alien signals coming from beyond the solar system
so that's like
something you can click on
subsequently
subsequently
I can't say that word
redefine and incorporate these processes
and explore
co-evolutionary dynamics including black hole formation and its galaxy development.
I'd love to just go into a black hole.
It sounds like fun.
Most recently, advanced hydrodynamical simulations have achieved remarkable success in reproducing observed cosmic phenomenon.
These models simulate interactions between bionomic matter and dark matter,
capturing processes like supernova-driven feedback.
So the feedback, this must be like the signal coming from it.
I would assume that's what that means.
However, the fidelity of these simulations depends on the subgrind grid perception.
Approximate method of modeling small-scale physics. As a result, the robust of predictions across vast cosmonautical perimeters remains an open
question. So all this stuff
is mostly just a hypothesis.
So dark energy
and its paradoxes. Dark
energy comprises over
two-thirds of the universe
total energy and it
governs accelerated
expansion. So it's hard to think
that as we're sitting out on the planet,
there's a galaxy around us that's expanding.
That's pretty interesting.
Despite its pivotal role,
dark energy, physical nature remains
enigmatic.
I'm not sure of the word enigmatic.
Then it gives me some equations here.
Something equals zero something plus something
equals OBS.
Something
equals 10 something OBS.
And then something
equals 30 something OBS.
The something is like
upside down.
It's like an arrow pointing up.
Whatever that signifies. I'm not sure what that is.
So it's shown the dark matter
is increasing.
It says how the same region of
the universe would look in terms of
the amount of stars from different
values of dark energy.
Clockwise from the top
left, no dark energy.
Same dark energy
in our universe. 30 then 10 times density is our universe
the images generate or suit so it just shows a difference you can see more stars less stars
a prevailing hypothesis links it to the quantum vacuum energy. So to me, everything is about quantum. That's why I'm really into anything quantum computing,
entanglement, supernova, all that stuff.
Yes, theoretically, calculations yield discrepancy
spanning over orders of magnitude.
Efforts to reconcile this
cosmetical constant problem
include involving
scalar fields, modified
gravity theories, or
multiverse scenarios.
One puzzle, the Who Known Problem,
questions why dark energy
began dominating the universe's expansion only recently, coinciding with the sun's formation.
Some theories suggest anthological reasoning, where the cosmic perimeters are constrained by the conditions necessary for observing to exist.
In this context, multiverse models propose an ensemble of the universe,
each with its different physical constructions.
A new model of intelligent life.
Durham University Research built these ideas
including a model that links dark energy density
and star formation rates to the emergence of life.
Unlike the Drake equation,
these estimates intelligent civilizations in the Milky Way.
This approach calculates the
relative probability of life across the
hypothetical universe.
So it has a
some sort of
the Drake equation.
That's what it's called.
A mathematical formula
for probability of
finding life in advanced civilizations in
the universe.
The team explored the fraction of ordinary matter converted into stars over cosmic history.
Under varying dark energy densities is our universe. This fraction is approximately
23%. However,
the model predicts that a universe
with a higher dark
energy density
could achieve a
star formation
efficiency of 27%.
This suggests
our universe with life
supporting may not
maximize the conditions
for life to develop.
It's kind of hard to believe that
we'd be the only one.
Understanding dark
energy and its impact on our universe
is one of the biggest challenges
in cosmetology.
Not cosmetology. I can't say that word either.
Said Dr. Danielle Sorin, not cosmetology, I can't say that word either, said Dr. Daniel Soren,
lead researcher.
Surprisingly, we found
that even significantly higher
dark energy density,
that's the word,
there I finally got it,
will still be capable with life,
suggesting we may not live
in most likely of universes.
Implications of Parallel Universes
The study's findings have profound implications for the concept of parallel universes. and Statical
Infernaition models an infinite multiverse
arises with each bubble universe
possesses unique physical
constraints this
assembly
provides a
Statical framework for understanding why our universe has its specific properties.
That won't even make sense.
So in these properties, we are what was grown, I guess.
Anthropic reasons, while controversial, gain traction as an exploratory tool in this context.
Similar to the concept of habitational zones around the stars,
there is an approach to consider conditions conductive to life.
By exploring the astrophysics of star formations and large-scale structure evolution, researchers
aim to identify universal parameters that enable life.
It will be exciting to explore the emergence of life across different universes, noted Professor Lucas Lumber
of the University of Givani.
This could lead to rethinking
of fundamental questions about our universe.
Again, it's all just thinking.
And then there's all kinds of scales
and all kinds of drag.
As computed with the extension of the SP2 model.
The SP21 model.
So this is a model here.
CSFRD.
All kinds of waveforms and all kinds of stuff there.
Toward a unified understanding.
The interplay between dark energy, star formation, and life's potential challenges.
Scientists to expand theoretical and
computical boundaries. Full hydro
dynamical simulations
offer detailed insight
but are computically intense. Significant
simplified and analytical models, while less precise,
provide intuitive framework for exploring
cosmic evolution over vast time scales.
By
combining these approaches, researchers hope to address
long-standing questions about the universe's fine-tuning. Why does the
universe support intelligent life? Why do its parameters compare to the hypothetical multiverse. These investigation bridge
astronomy, cosmology,
and the search for extraterrestrial life
offer a richer understanding
of our place in the cosmos.
So, like I said, I'm still a big fan
that seems to believe that
we're in some sort of
multiverse here
dark energy I'm gonna get some
learn more about dark energy that's the next thing
I'm gonna learn so that was
just an article that caught
my eye I kind of do these
every once in a while just because they're fun
trying to learn how to read better too
the big words get me
so this was about scientists believe that aliens could be living in parallel universes.
So they can pop in and pop out.
We can't pop in and pop out yet.
Alright, so that's a little fun little article I told this morning.
I'll talk to you guys later.
Alright, bye.
